Thank you!

Morning all,

There will be alumni band practice on coming saturday, 3rd May.
I believe most of the Uni people and JC people would have finished their committments and exams already. So do come for practice as Mr. Lim wishes to conduct a recording. So we really need the strength.

Also, pls do be considerate enough to let us know of your attendance, whether coming or not. Pls do not waste the efforts of my committee members who used up their time and money in smsing you or posting here. I really believe they are not obliged to do so, especially to inform one entire batch of people for EVERY SATURDAY. Pls appreciate their efforts and make this alumni band a better place for everyone.

Thank you!
Do come on time as well!

Also, below is the link for the AMBience VI Recordings:

1) Click on the link (or paste it onto the web browser)

hey Hi all,

1) There will be no practice on coming Saturday, but the band room will be open. Can come down to self-practise. But committee members, pls do up your area of work for the post concert report! Unfortunately (haha), there will be a meeting on Saturday at 10am, since there's no practice. Better to rush this out, before we end up forgetting what happened during the concert for our areas.

2) POST CONCERT CELEBRATION

The post concert celebration will be held on 20th April, SUNDAY, different from the earlier proposed day of Saturday. Reason for this: The function room has been booked on those dates.

Hi everybody, some good news to share with everyone:

1) From the principal herself: The alumni has been given the green light to collect the band room keys ourselves on saturday, as long as we give ample time and notice to the school on when we want to come back. This marks a big move ahead for us because of the trust that the school has placed in us. Furthermore, a good thing for us that the principal is supportive.

2) After the concert last friday, the main band has received a invitation by Central CDC (Community Development Council) See more abt them here. As of now, we are looking at 6 invited and paid performances in public places, including AMK Central, Toa Payoh, Far East etc.

Mr. Lim wants the alumni band to be involved and take a few of these places as well. Similarly, a good chance to expose our band and raise our publicity. Will spread more details of these soon, after we confirm!

---back to routine info---

There will be an alumni practice on coming saturday, 120408 at 9am.

The alumni band will be running through some pieces and will do the audio recording if we clear these pieces. Please come! =)

Also, michelle has lost a silver-coloured tie during the concert. If anybody has seen an extra one lying around when we were clearing up in VCH, and helped bring it back to school, kindly let her know!

Thank you!

Reason for our love - The AMB FAMILY!

Credits AMBience VI

Relieved or not, AMBience VI is finally over.

Thank you everyone for helping, must admit i yelled quite a bit. Hehs.
But overall, everyone really coordinated well, adjusting to changes here and there.
Proves something about this alumni, at least to me =)

If not.. i really must say a big thank you to our very own performers, non-performing helpers, main band, junior band, conductors, teachers-in-charge, gary's cousin, luheng the videographer, audience and everybody else whom i've missed out.


Wait for the videos!!!! Have a good rest! =)
